Backfired?
Perhaps Eleonora-neesan realized that this practice has a psychological factor in it that she started to make feints in her movement and her eyes changed compared to earlier. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
When you thought she was going to accelerate, she stopped, then she made a sudden acceleration. Pretending to run to the right, but then she dashes toward an empty space in the opposite direction. The snow piled up on the ground violently swirls up, creating a dazzling and sparkling effect.
It’s like the scene of a beautiful snow fairy dancing with a sword.
It’s probably just a feeling I got after watching her instead of thinking like that.
Although neesan is not good at considering the small things, her instinctive sense of smell is unmatched.
But, I won’t let her do whatever she wants.
If the opponent is trying to trick you, then you should take away their composure.
I also move the swords standing by at her blind spot to keep her in check and now all swords are gathered and used to attack her.
It’s a super continuous attack with all 10 swords. Eleonora-neesan is attacked by the endless onslaught of continuous attack.
The automatic swordsmanship doesn’t require a certain motion before moving just like when a normal person would use and it also doesn’t require preparation. Even if an attack was defended against, you can immediately move on to attack again.
It’s a continuous attack that made the best use of the magic’s sheer quantity and properties without any tricks.
「Haa!」
Eleonora-neesan swings her sword while letting out a sharp short shout.
Kakakakakakakakaka!
I could only see her swinging down her sword once.
However, all ten of the swords attacking her at the same time were repelled in the next moment.
「……what’s going on?」
Was it the application of the technique she showed me in the past during practice when she cut a leaf into four pieces in one swing? The result of that technique is now more than twice as effective. I guess this is also Eleonora-neesan’s growth.
Although, this is the first time Eleonora-neesan used such a technique when doing a self-practice with me. I mean, she usually attacks and defeats me with just normal attacks.
When I think like that, practicing with the automatic swordsmanship would surely take away Eleonora-neesan’s stamina. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Having peace of mind with that thought, I continued to move the swords without thinking.

「Alfried-sama, it is time for breakfast」
A while after I continued practicing the automatic swordsmanship.
I returned to my senses when Sara’s voice called me as she knocked on the door.
It’s fun driving Eleonora-neesan - who was always lively and energetic - into the corner that I became too absorbed in it.
「I know, but I wonder what should I do. But it’s hard to stop suddenly……」
Even now, Eleonora-neesan is still engaged in the exchange of offense and defense against the 10 swords in the courtyard.
She appears to be concentrating quite a lot and she gives me an atmosphere that makes it difficult - even for me as her brother - to call her.
I feel like a sharp glare going to pierce through the wall at me if I call her and stop because it’s time for breakfast.
「It is fine. Nord-sama is heading toward Eleonora-sama’s direction so it will be best if you can stop at that time」
「I see」
As expected from the capable maid. The follow-up to Eleonora-neesan’s situation is perfect.
And when I opened the window and looked down, I saw Nord-tousan just exiting the front door.
He looked up in my direction and made a gesture to stop the magic so I stopped the Psychic magic that was manipulating the swords.
And it was probably because the swords stopped moving suddenly. Eleonora-neesan’s final slashing attack directly hits and flies toward Nord-tousan.
「Okay, Eleonora. Self-practice is over. It is time for breakfast」
Nord-tousan speaks in a calm tone while catching the wooden sword flying his way with his bare hand. It would be a great disaster if it were a direct hit to an ordinary person.
The fully-concentrating Eleonora-neesan reflexively turned her sharp gaze at him. But, Nord-tousan was unfazed by it and calmly ignored it.
「……okay」
Eleonora-neesan exhaled deeply and promptly released her battle stance.
At that moment, I lightly tapped Eleonora-neesan’s head with the wooden sword floating near her.
「Ooh, it’s a clean hit」
Eleonora-neesan’s head tilts with a tap.
Although I aimed to hit her when she was the most relaxed, I was really surprised it actually hit her.
「You really have some courage! Al!」
Eleonora-neesan’s eyes lit up with flames of anger and she returns inside the mansion with an unbelievable speed. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「I wasn’t told to stop the swords, you know!」
「Err, no, did I not say that the self-practice is over?」
「……you said it」
I heard a voice of disbelief from below and behind me but I ignored them.
I was moving the swords all the time. So it wouldn’t be fun if I didn’t even get a single hit.

「……wind」
Eleonora-neesan - after she was getting out of the bathroom and wearing casual clothes - declared with a self-important attitude upon reaching the washstand.
「Understood」
I - who somehow managed to avoid a physical purge - don’t have the right to reject.
I pulled out a chair just like an obedient butler and had Eleonora-neesan sit down on it.
Then I tried to send warm air by using the combination of Wind and Fire magic, but then I realized that Eleonora-neesan’s hair was really wet.
「Can I wipe your wet hair with a towel first before drying it with the wind?」
「Fine」
I carefully wipe Eleonora-neesan’s long hair with a bath towel.
This neesan, I thought that she purposely let her hair wet like this to make me do it, but Eleonora-neesan is basically a sloppy person so it’s hard to tell.
After properly drying her hair with the bath towel, I decided to dry her hair with warm air.
「Is the temperature not hot?」
「It’s just right」
Since I received a reply that there was no problem with the temperature, I proceeded to continue drying Eleonora-neesan’s hair.
For the finishing touches, I properly combed her hair neatly and the hair styling is complete.
「It’s done」
「Tie my hair too」
Are you even going to make me do that? Despite thinking about it in my mind, I still took the hair tie placed on the washstand and tied her hair in a ponytail.
Eleonora-neesan’s silky smooth and dry hair is very easy to manage.
「How about this?」
「I really can’t understand how you can tie it better than me」
It’s because Eleonora-neesan’s feminine power is lacking, right? So I would like to say, but the smart-me endured it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Well, in my case, I had three older sisters in my previous life. I was made to help do their hair when it’s their date or other special occasions.
And maybe it’s because of their strict guidance that, I believe I have the skill that can rival women with low femininity.
「On the other hand, Eleonora-neesan should tie the knot a little more carefully. It’s slanted sometimes」
「No one cares even if it shifted a little」
Even if she thought like that, Elna-kaasan probably would be concerned. You have to tie it properly.
Oh well, let’s just leave it to our mother to improve her awareness in this part. Though it will be hopeless.
「Okay, it’s done now」
「Thank you」
By completely taking care of her, my sins were now finally forgiven.
With this, my surprise attack when I unexpectedly poked her earlier won’t be blamed.
I also head to the dining room following Eleonora-neesan.
I haven’t eaten breakfast since I’ve been taking care of Eleonora-neesan.
Even though I was just using magic inside the room, it also required quite a bit of concentration and I’m so hungry now.
「You are finally here. We already ate first, you know? You two should also eat quickly」
Elna-kaasan’s said to us when we entered the dining room.
Basically, it’s the rule in our house for everyone to gather before eating, but as expected, they eat first since we’re this late.
On the table are dishes like vegetables and chicken cream stew, plain omelet, salad, and bread. They look really tasty.
Eleonora-neesan and I quickly reached our usual seats.
「Still, you become hungry if you move around that much, right?」
「What are you talking about? Isn’t my body warmed up now」
「Eeh? Even though you’ve been moving around so vigorously?」
「That ‘vigorously’ was just the beginning. I was stopped at just the good moment earlier, let’s continue our practice after our breakfast!」
After Eleonora-neesan answered my question like that, she started heartily eating her breakfast.
Even though I was not being taken out for self-practice, the practice time hasn’t increased, has it?
「No way. I’m tired already」
「You can just do it from your room, right? Accompany me for a little while longer, will you」
Eh? Does it mean I have fewer excuses now that she can practice while I’m inside the room? It may be a technique I came up with so I can spend my time comfortably, but now it seems like it’s tormenting myself.
Coming up with the automatic swordsmanship may have been a mistake. That’s what I thought currently. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
